Biography

​Dr. Bo Guo is an assistant professor in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona. His research focuses on physics and mathematical and computational modeling of fluid flow and transport in permeable geological materials, with applications to shale gas/oil production, geological carbon storage, and fate and transport of emergent contaminants in soil and groundwater. Prior to joining the University of Arizona, Bo was a postdoc in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University. Bo holds a B.S. in Hydraulic Engineering from Tsinghua University and an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Princeton University.

Modeling CO2 injection and migration in deep saline aquifers: reduced-order, multiscale, and hybrid approaches
06:30 PM

Injection of CO2 into deep saline aquifers leads to a flow system of two fluid phases—injected CO2 and resident brine—that requires modeling tools to simulate migration of both fluids. While high-fidelity full three-dimensional (3D) multiphase flow models are available, their application for practical analysis remains challenging due to the high computational costs and the significant uncertainty of subsurface geological parameters.
